ROADKILLS walker WIP

Going back to Star Wars, why not just let the driver sit? After all there is no vehicle i know that will allow u to stand up. For the sentinals on some part of Mechaa i dont think that would be allowed(read that somewhere in an earlier post) as they stopped allowing em's to put sentinals on vehicles cause they were thought to be over powered or something.

I believe we should go use the Star Wars model-otherwise it could be overpowered.

On The "L" Menu

Mecha Build
When you click on INFO

* The SubGuns/ Sentinals are in separate catagories so when you buy one depending on the Mecha Build you could be able to purchase the other weapon/sentinal. However you must buy the minigun if you want minigun again.

Example- ^ has Mecha Build Level 3

Question-will the balls of energy be a super-weak point for the Mecha?

Comment-I don't really like the idea of a transparent holder for the body.

This will allow for "small arms fire" to actually injure the Mecha as it would do if someone was in a mini turret.

Great ideas the bigger problem is the coding.
Ive learned a LOT since my last attempt at this ,and am willing to go back and create the Star Wars style walker and animate it
if someone can code it ,or will try

it may be easier to put legs on a mini turret tho

I'll do some research (Google

) and see if I can "borrow" some other mods techniques

< - - MAX render
I found a copy of the battlefront 2 AT-RT that I've gotten into MAX
I'll have to create a new skeleton and animate it
both skeleton and animating are new to me so will take a lot of work ,but I know the basics of doing both
as long as I keep animations simple ; walking (forward,backward, Sideways) it may be doable for me

A couple of idea's reading this:

1: For mechs - Looks up http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/
(Mechwarrior/BattleTech Remake) They'll have enough variations for you to use.

2: Options of user placement.
A: Immitate what the Redeemer does. (Locks the player's body and you just 'fly' around the Deemer, so why not the same idea here.)
B: Can look at the assault in space types and the 'teleport' that it does for the player.

Going to all that - Why not just a 'battle' armor suit that goes around the player? http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&safe=off&q=rifts%20power%20armor&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi As just a few examples.

how can i lern that skill? ??

(i mean code? is there any guide? suggestions on how to search for it in the internet?

i mean probably i wont make it, however its a nice skill to learn..

the problem with battle armor is the alien models have an extra leg bone (horse-link)
and custom models are odd in shape
and with a Riding Mech I can just use the stock "Driving" animation

as far as coding goes I've only seen a few rather confusing (to me) tutorials around I usually Google it there is an official site with more info just don't have it bookmarked anymore

This is what I found for a script reference:
http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/Legacy:UnrealScript_Lessons

And This is what I think both of us were kinda talking about:
http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/Legacy:Bulldog_Player

That latter one 'vaguely' talks about instead of a player it 'destroys' the player and spawns them 'as' the car. Which if this isn't too complicated, would be how "I" would consider doing the 'mech' aspect.

after some thought and the realization of my own stupidity (Copyright infringement ) I thought it better not to use this model

as a major release

back on hold you go (unless I get a really good design in mind )

Good call.

Copyrights are there to protect your design from others profiting off of it. If you don't get paid in any way, then I think you are safe...
I mean, look at all the other characters from Disney and TV and the such you find out there at Skin City and players who use them here:. They all came from a copyrighted something, and yet there they are....still.
I'm a great example of using the Bender skin. I think you will be ok to do this.

Yes, but if you start turning ut into a starwars clone, even if you are not getting paid, george lucas will go after you.

the issue is that the walker was taken directly from a Star Wars(Lucasarts) game therefore is property thereof
If I made it from scratch I could claim it as a tribute , but I didn't

To imitate is the greatest form of flattery!
I understand...but others port models from other games, may not be the same as the Lucas Arts empire....but it's the same thing regardless.

Port the walker, we all change our models to droids, storm troopers, or maybe ewoks... and find the Endor map and have at it.

If you changed it in some way could you claim it as an artistic interpretation?
